Career opportunities in the recreational dive industry are increasing
rapidly, however so is the competition, especially for the most
attractive jobs! To maximize your opportunity in the industry you
need to be a cut above the average instructor. Instructor continuing
education gives you that needed edge, as well as the opportunity

This course teaches Instructors how to organize, conduct, market
and promote the PADI Emergency First Response Course (EFRI). The
course emphasizes hands-on skills practice and demonstrations. We
have placed the EFRI Course in between the IDC and IE to give you
some additional teaching practice. The EFRI Course is low stress
and makes you feel confident and relaxed prior to the IE.
With EFR being a vital part of several PADI certification levels
(including, Rescue Diver, Divemaster, Assistant Instructor and Instructor
Development) it is the one most marketable course in the PADI System
of diver education and allows you to offer all-inclusive programs.
Students will not have to look elsewhere for the training they need.
Since the Emergency First Response course is not diving specific,
you can offer this training to all your customers, friends and
family. Our EFR Instructor course now includes PADI's new Care
for Children program.

Most Dive Centers, especially in tropical diving destinations,
have two main sources of income, diving instruction and diving excursions,
and often a combination of both.
This means that your duties will
be both of an instructional and supervisory nature. Tourists in
tropical, holiday destinations are often demanding and expect to
dive when they want to, where they want to, and how they want to.
This requires organization and communication, not to mention excellent
scheduling and facility maintenance skills.
During this program, you will deal with real life situations in
our 5 Star Dive Centers in Kata and Karon Beach. Practical diving
experience will be gained aboard our daily excursion boat to the
various dive sites around the island of Phuket.

If you think that your job is to teach and not to sell...think
again. In the dive business, everyone sells... including full-time,
part-time, and independent instructors. Still, very few people want
to be seen in the role of a 'salesperson'.
Positive Approach Selling teaches the philosophy that selling
doesn't have to be a pushy, manipulative process that many people
imagine it to be. You'll learn to identify different types of personalities,
including your own, and decide which sales approach is right for a given
situation.
